HARDWELL & TIESTO featuring ANDREAS MOE, “Colors”
There’s so much very busy EDM out there, and some of it, especially by major artists who are phoning it in, is becoming easy to dislike and dismiss. Not so with the songs I’ve heard from Dutch DJ/producer Hardwell (aka 26 year old Robbert van de Corput) on his latest album United We Are. There are several collaborations, including one with Jason Derulo that will make you turn your head all the way around, but the most striking is “Colors”, a partnership with the reknown Tiësto and Sweden’s Andreas Moe, who has the uncanny ability to sing just about anything. You already know Andreas from my blog posts about his own recordings and vocals on both Avicii’s “Fade Into Darkness” and John De Sohn’s “Long Time”. The positive message, the lush production, those gorgeous arpeggios, plus Andreas’ truly engaged vocal make “Colors” one of the best EDM records around going into Spring. The massive attack on club dance floors will ensue. United We Are also includes last year’s UK Top 20 hit “Dare You” featuring Matthew Koma. Get it on iTunes.
